Beketov

Well there's a name we haven't seen in these parts in awhile.

Since I was dead last week I didn't get a chance to record so I will do @Kendrick's questions this week. Anyone else want in? I'm out of town tomorrow but will likely be recording this either Friday or Sunday. @eaglesfan036 @The Bread Man @der meister @Phil @tfong @Molholt @Banackock @gorlab @JardyB10 @evrydayimbyfuglien @Jericho @DollarAndADream @mpclardy @hedgehog337 @Devise @Smarch @Will @Streetlite @punkhippie

5 goals in the game and no points for Sokolov, off night apparently.

I’m under 300 TPE with Sokolov and the most likely candidate for the Labatte this season. It’s definitely possible. Maybe their rookie seasons wouldn’t be fantastic but I believe they could definitely do it. Plus it might make ROTY races a little more interesting rather than it being obvious who the top 2 TPE earners were that have a shot at it. The only real players it would drastically hurt IMO are goalies since they’d only get to play 8 games a year which would be kinda dull. They’d at least have the better LR though. Up until now I have been generally against the removal of the VHLM as it simply looks like a sign of weakness but even I have to admit that what @Devise is saying makes sense. Why should we be considering removing VHL teams when we have a pool of players in a league they don’t want to be in anyway? If players had more TPE at creation they could easily become depth players on VHL rosters and actually feel as if they are contributing. Sure, you won’t get hat tricks like you may have in the VHLM but is that not worth it when you consider that you could get a continental cup? Personally I’ve had amazing success (individually speaking) in the VHLM but I’ve never really cared about it anyway because I know it’s just a stepping stone. I think even new members would rather be up on a pro roster (potentially in a pretty decent lineup spot if the team is rebuilding) rather than wasting away in an inactive VHLM locker room. If we get our member base back up and see a need to bring the VHLM back in we could re-structure it from the ground up the way it needs. However at this point I think we’ve hit a wall with how effective the VHLM can be and it’s time to do away with it.

There's a nice way to tank my stats at the end of the season haha

Since we don’t have the ability to block sigs anymore it seems (could we get that back @Will @Higgins) it drives me crazy any time I use the site on anything but mobile because every time I see @The Trollfecta’s sig I need to scroll like mad to get past it. Seriously, do you really need 3 full size signatures for your current player, 2 for past players and 2 extra lines? is that at all necessary? They’re decent enough sigs but at a 1080 resolution I literally cannot even have all of them on my screen at once. Just think about that. At a normal resolution your signatures take more than the entire screen; sure I have the top bar of safari and my dock contributing to that as well but still. Not your post, just your signatures. By my rough calculations your signature takes up over 1000px of space, for comparison mine is around 415px. There really should be some kind of limit on this. /rant

Who needs low shot totals for a SO, this is far more satisfying.

Damnit, I wanted to see Sokolov have a good game but not against Holik!

Gotta love how ridiculously fickle STHS is. Shutout Stockholm 1 sim and get blown out by Helsinki the next.

So, is Federov still better than Sokolov

I was wondering how Riga put up 64 shots against me, then I realized it was actually Quebec and the title is just wrong.

Picks left over after a @Devise GM tenure? Unheard of!

So I made a sig instead, don’t go light very often so it was different. @DollarAndADream *For Holik

I'll take back to back shutouts, especially with 1 coming against Stockholm. We're heating up at the right time boys!

@Phil reviews CoDcasts, yes?

The choke is real for Sokolov. I played quite terrible the last 20 games or so.

Would love to have some questions so that I can record this in the next two days. Think you guys can manage that for me? @eaglesfan036 @The Bread Man @der meister @Phil @tfong @Molholt @Banackock @gorlab @JardyB10 @evrydayimbyfuglien @Jericho @DollarAndADream @Kendrick @mpclardy @hedgehog337 @Devise @Smarch @Will @Streetlite @punkhippie

RIP S%

+4 Sokolov

*blink* goddamn I hate how inconsistent I am.

After a 2 week hiatus the CoDCast returns! In this episode we ramble about CoD for awhile and then answer questions from @der meister, @gorlab, and @Phil. *For Holik

So...they added a new shotgun/sniper combo in CoD. Weird sounding gun I know. But they kinda broke in in hardcore which makes it the most entertaining / frustrating thing I have ever seen. It’s essentially an aim-bot. If someone is on your screen and you fire you will kill them in 1 bullet without having to aim. It’ll be fixed soon I’m sure but for now it is easily the most entertaining time I have ever had in hardcore haha.

Well that could have been an amazing stat bump with 46 shots against if I didn't shit the bed.
